Chapter 100 Beatrice turned and put the phone away.
Ava said, âYou should delete that photoâ
Beatrice retorted, âStay out of my business with Agnes.â
Ava replied, âI canât ignore it since I saw it. Agnes and I are friends.â
Beatrice smirked, âFriends? I think you are trying to please her. You used to be an artist in the studio, and I know youâve always wanted to sign with Starlight International Group. If you think pleasing Agnes can sign you to Starlight International Group, then you might as well please me, Agnes has no place in our family at all.â
Ava said, âYouâre underestimating me. Starlight International Group isnât the only agency in the world 1, Ava, donât need to suck up to anyone. If Agnes has no status in your house, why is she the lead actress in this play and youâre just a supporting actress?â
The words really angered Beatrice. Beatrice was too angry to speak, but an idea came to her suddenly.
Beatrice changed her tone. âAva, i remember you auditioned for the lead role too before, didnât you?â
Ava asked, âWhat do you want to say?â
Beatrice shared, âHereâs the truth. Agnes was shoved in there because this play was coâproduced by my dad and Ivan. My dad wanted to get Agnes into the entertainment. industry, so he forced her into the lead role. In fact, you were the first in the audition, but because of Agnes, you could only play a supporting role.â
Ava said, âDonât try to stir things up. I wonât believe you.â
Beatrice played innocent, âIâm not lying Doesnât it seem odd? You and Agnes go to the same school, but sheâs a journalism student. How did she suddenly get into acting, and as the lead? Anyone would find that hard to believe. Plus, sheâs doing this play just to get close to Justin.â
The mention of Justin shocked Ava Beatrice knew Ava had a crush on Justin because she once accidentally discovered a fan tattoo of Justin behind Avaâs ear.
Beatrice went on, âDid you know Agnes is a super fan of Justin? She doesnât show it in public, but her room is filled with Justinâs posters. Sheâs doing this play just to get close to himâ
When Ava got back to the dorm, Agnes could tell something was off.
Agnes asked, âWhatâs wrong? You seem to be in bad moodâ
Ava said, âWhere did you go after work? I couldnât find youâ
Agnes replied, âOh, I went to the food street for dinner. I forgot to tell you.â
Avaâs face changed slightly, âYouâre saying you ate street food tonight?â
Agnes nodded, âYes, grilled meat.â
Ava muttered, âI see.â
Then she climbed onto the upper bunk and lay down with her back to Agnes.
Agnes felt confused, her gut telling her Ava didnât seem very happy Agnes didnât tell Ava she was with Justin, fearing it would upset her more.
Agnes knew Ava had feelings for Justin, but she didnât ask or intentionally mention it..
Ava lay in bed, feeling restless.
Justin had just dropped her off in his Ferrari. They clearly had dinner together.
Thereâs no way Justin would eat at a street stall with her. Everyone knew Justin was very picky about his food. He never ate what the crew provides and always had his own chef cook for him Agnes was obviously lying It seemed what Beatrice said wasnât all false. Ava clenched her fists under the covers.
